The Existence and Attributes of God, Volumes 1 and 2

"The Existence and Attributes of God, Volumes 1 and 2" by Stephen Charnock is a theological exploration from the 1600s that looks closely at God's character. The book uses both logical arguments and Bible verses to explain why God exists and what makes Him divine. Structured as a collection of thoughtful talks, it fights against the idea that God doesn't exist and points out the key qualities of God that should guide how we worship and live. The author starts by powerfully arguing for God’s existence, using the Bible and careful thinking. He explains that denying God is foolish and comes from a desire to sin rather than a lack of proof. Charnock says that all people, everywhere, have an inborn sense of a higher power, even if they try to ignore it because they prefer to sin. This introduction leads into a thorough study of God's traits, meant to deepen the reader’s understanding and inspire true worship.
